3. QUOTE:"This subject is getting complicated but yes traditional absinthe is illegal to sell. But given the thirst of Americans desire for absinthe the industry is finding a way to get it to the people. There is a chemical in traditional absinthe called Thujone, this chemical is banned in food products by the FDA. This one chemical is what makes absinthe illegal to sell. Generally Thujone comes from an herb called wormwood that is used in the production process of absinthe. Companies and the liquor industry have found that by filtering out this chemical they can legally sell their brand of absinthe in the USA.

4. All absinthe in the US is fake. Its like buying generic cola for Coke or Pepsi sort of. It all just a novelty.
5. You can't find real absinthe in the u.s. Its illegal. You can find Absente, a product similar to absinthe. If you want absinthe you have to order it online from Europe. I suggest www.eabsinthe.com, They give great descriptions and have a variety of absinthes.
6. it is legal in the U.S. they made it legal about 4 months ago any liquor store should have it now.
7. It's legal now...it's at the liquor around the corner from me here in Boston...expensive though.
8. This is true. Absinthe was just made legal in the U.S. a month or two ago...so it IS now possible to get real absinthe state-side. It is very expensive, though...like $60 for a bottle that I saw. And I've heard it reported to have a very strong licorice taste...like anisette.
